The 'Turk's Head', Sowerby Bridge
This photograph is taken from the footbridge which spans the River Calder and shows this small local public house, still in business in 2008, (for a 1990 picture see Image). The name of the pub. does not derive directly from the head of a foreign gentleman, but from a complicated knot so-named, often used as a bow fender on a narrow boat.

Masonry in the riverbed, Sowerby Bridge
Looking upstream from the footbridge over the Calder Image, there is a line of masonry just above the much reduced water level in a very dry summer. I think it is probably the remains of a wall separating the main river (left) from the tailrace (right) of the originally water-powered Greenup's Mill. Image shows a more normal river level.
